I don’t recognize him, but the photo and story is totally cool. My father has a saying (I love), and he often says, “I used to be somebody.” LOL. I’ve now reached an age where I am saying that myself.
Because of the way this man smiles, I’m thinking that he’s more of a TV celebrity than a politician or author. My first thought is to check the guest list on Johnnie Carson during that time period.
Reminds me too of a vintage gas station convenience store logo although I can’t place it. And I also agree that it could be a Channel 6 TV station possibly.
I concur that it is Marie Antoinette. I knew the image immediately even before reading DigVintageStuff’s reply.
It’s numbered. That means that you need to get a loop and confirm printing dots. If you see 4 colors of dots in the loop, then it’s a numbered and signed lithograph print (meaning on a print press or printer with CMYK process.) If you see more solid color dots (like a light blue, then the darker blue, and a black) then it’s more likely a serigraph, meaning that the artist himself used a silkscreen process and ran each color by hand onto paper, one color at a time, with small mixes.
The quality of the paper is questionnable, looking a little bit low grade, but it’s difficult to determine by just a photograph.
Serigraphs are generally worth more than lithographs because the artist did the printing their self through a silk screen and mixed the colors one by one. They are typically smaller in quantity than a lithograph which can be mass produced at higher numbers.
Neat piece.
Not sure that my pic posted correctly. Trying one more time…
